recommend me an email provider

Options
I'm sick of hushmail. It goes through phases of several days where it doesn't keep me logged in. So annoying esp with the 'password' being a 'pass phrase' and a long one at that!


I don't want gmail or yahoo cos I already have those and don't want to be logging in and out between different accounts.


Any recs for an email provider that keeps you logged in and is easy to use?

    That sounds good, Toniq, but I forgot to say that I primarily use IE. I do have FF but only use it when IE won't play nice. I'll certainly keep it in mind if I can't find a good alternative though :)

    Doesn't matter what you use, do you use snap links or split panel for comping? Them two are ff addons which speed comping up no end x

    I used normal tabbed browsing in IE. I don't know what snap links or split panel are. Sorry bit of a techy noob.


    eta - I tried Thunderbird but it had a conflict with AVG email scanner and wouldn't let me import any of my existing email accounts. Have downloaded Outlook to try out...

    If you ever do go to firefox, Message me and I'll help you with those addons which speed things up

    Thanks, Toniq, that's very kind of you to offer :)


    eta - I've got thunderbird to work. Apparently hushmail doesn't export to any other client unless you have the paid version. I have the free version. I'll work at switching my comping address over but I can see me checking the hushmail account for a long time to come... *le sigh*
